Pocket doors

I forgot to mention that, even before the kitchen decisions, we went out shopping for a new (old) set of pocket doors. The house has one set that opens the wall between the living room and dining room. They have an opening of 6" wide. Being a fan of symmetry, John the Builder planned to put a 6" wide opening in the other wall of the living room where we will enter from the entry of the house. Rather than just an opening, we wanted to add pocket doors there because we would like to have one room of the house, on the main level, that can be closed off for privacy.

We set out that first Saturday we had the contract on the house to find a set of similar or matching doors. We located a set we love at The Brass Knob Back Door Warehouse here in DC. The staff there were so nice and helpful - knowledgeable and laid-back!

I also threw in some nice photos of the backyard. The fence is what really made us fall in love with the house, in addition to the front screen door. I know, that is a lot of trash piled up back there, but I will let you know that the builders did send some bulk items to Community Forklift, (where we also looked for new (old) pocket doors) so not everything is landfill-bound.
